American Heart Awareness Month | |
February is American Heart Awareness Month!
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Every year 1 in 4 deaths is caused by heart disease. Each year, cardiovascular (heart) diseases claim the lives of nearly half a million women - almost one per minute.
The good news is heart disease can often be prevented when people make healthy choices and manage their health conditions.
Here's a few things that you can do to help:
Eat a healthy diet: choose healthy meals and snack options. Be sure to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables (adults should have a least 5 servings each day).
Maintain a healthy weight: being overweight or obese can increase your risk for heart disease. To determine whether your weight is in a healthy range, doctors often calculate your BMI (body mass index).
Exercise regularly: physical activity can help you maintain a healthy weight and lower cholesterol and blood pressure. The General Surgeon recommends that adults should engage in moderate-intensity exerciser for at least 30 minutes on most days of the week.
